I could tell you about the whales, the sea otter, the sea lions, the seals, the glacier ice, the waterfalls and the Columbia Glacier. I could but you need to experience yourself. Make it happen and you will not regret it. read less

After a short boat ride with our guides Carson and Tim, Carson led us up toward the glacier. We got some awesome close up views of a pair of bald eagles. Lots of otters playing around. After having lunch right under the glacier, we had a fun ride back through some rougher water. Carson was an awesome dude and we loved chilling with him all day. The owner Tim was also great to talk to and we learned a lot about the area from them. Would highly recommend going through this company for any adventure. Extremely professional, seasoned, and just simply lovely people who were fun to be with. Best of luck to everyone at Pangea Adventures!! read less

We have never taken a guided tour and were very pleased with our experience. The captain Tim was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the ice was very thick so getting close to Columbia was out of the question due to safety concerns. It provided us a unique opportunity to explore a recently exposed bay area that was filled with icebergs. The guides Seth, Natan, Dan, and Nadine were excellent with leading us through relatively new territory and providing a unique and fun experience. We would overwhelmingly recommend them to anyone looking for an adventure in the Valdez and Prince William Sound area. read less

The sights were amazing and the guides incredibly competent and supportive. Captain Tim, Seth, and Dan were all very knowledgeable, friendly, and conversational. They sought out wildlife and made sure to pause and let us enjoy otters, eagles, and harbor seals. We floated amongst the icebergs and got a close up and personal view of the glacier. We felt very safe in their charge. I would recommend this experience to anyone...both visitors and residents of our great state of Alaska. Thank you Pangaea. read less

Our hotel recommended Pangaea as the way to go but when we arrived there we saw that all the kayaks were enclosed, not open like our previous kayaking experiences in S.America and Hawaii.

Megan was terrific. No pressure. She walked us over to the dock, we checkout out all the possibilities and then she left us in the hands of Eric, who helped us try out different kayaks. Unfortunately, none were comfortable for our backs and we chose to pass BUT we were so impressed with the time they both took and the lack of any pressure.

I can only imagine how accommodating they would be on one of their kayaking tours so I would recommended them without any hesitation and if Eric is available, grab him. read less

We started by getting fitted with gear and then boarded a boat with our kayaks attached to the top. Along the way we saw otters and seals. We landed at a small beach and started our paddle. We learned about the glacier and how to paddle. The water was calm, so it was not difficult. We had lunch right by th glacier. Hot chocolate, tea and snacks were provided. After the tide started coming in quick Meridith rescued a wayward kayak and we all got back into make the trip back. We went through one section, where the current was faster and it was fun. Highly recommend this trip. read less

We stopped by the shop the morning before and got the skinny on what to expect the next day. Later that evening my husband started having chest pains and ended up in the hospital. I called Pangaea around midnight and left a message that we would not be keeping our rez for the next morning. After spending the night in the hospital we got a call from a staffer at Pangaea the following morning and she very kindly told me that due to our situation she would not charge us for the missed trip. That's a class act in my book. I did not expect this as the fine print was clear that you would be billed for any cancellations. Thanks Pangaea! read less
